IPOH: A mechanic sustained severe injuries on his hand and leg after being shot by two men in a restaurant at Medan Sitiawan near Manjung here early yesterday.

The victim was taken to Seri Manjung Hospital and reported to be in stable condition.

Perak police chief Datuk Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani said in the 12.30am incident, the victim was having a drink with his two friends.
